During the last three years, the Marine Corps has seen an explosion of Satellite Communication (SatCom) assets being used in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. This increase in demand has caused a critical shortage of radio communication assets that can communicate across long distances and at the same time created a shortage of available radio frequencies for the radios to operate on. SatCom has its shortcomings even though it is more reliable than HF. The current main shortcoming of SatCom is the limited availability of bandwidth for the radio assets to operate on.
